After the emperor announced the truth behind the matter, the nobles who had confronted him Scarlesia bowed in shame. They couldn't lift her face, Scarlesia felt like the problem was over here. He went out of the throne room regardless of what kind of punishment the emperor had given Nieva.
“Oh yes, Your Majesty, it seems that from now on you have to improve the training of the knights and magicians because I have no special responsibility anymore to the Roosevelt Empire. Look for anyone who can protect you and the people of the empire because all this time that protects you is me with my men. So, I hope you understand Your Majesty,” Scarlesia's message disappeared once it arrived at the doorstep.
The Duke Eginhardt residence
Just as he had set foot in the front yard of the residence, the entire occupants of the mansion greeted him in an unusual manner. The news of Scarlesia being the crown princess of the Evariste Empire had been widespread within the residence.
“WELCOME YOUR HIGHNESS,”
They opened a path for Scarlesia while bowing in salute to her.
“What is this? You don't need to be like this. Please behave as usual because after all I still remain the Miss of Duke Eginhardt residence,” Scarlesia said.
“Hikss Miss... will you leave this residence?”
“We are happy to hear about you being the crown princess of Evariste but on the other hand we are also not willing,”
“Nona, don't leave us,”
Scarlesia patted her forehead, she herself was also at a loss as to how to deal with those crying and whining asking not to be left behind.
“Have it, you guys don't cry anymore. I don't go anywhere, later I will visit you guys often,” entertain Scarlesia.
Edward looked at Scarlesia with a sad look, he saw the shadow of the sister he missed in Scarlesia.
“They are both very similar, Anabela turned out to give birth to a goddess into this world, Edward's inner”.
Afterwards, Eldrick invites Edward and Lucas into the mansion, they gather in the living room. There are Eldrick, Carlen, Aldert, Scarlesia, Edward, and Lucas.
“I really did not expect it turned out that Larissa was Emperor Evariste. Larissa never said anything about herself, she just said that she was from a commoner. It is fitting that Larisssa knows a lot about noble etiquette,” said Eldrick.
Edward circled his gaze, in the living room there was a portrait of Eldrick's wedding with Larissa, a portrait when they were photos together when Scarlesia was a child, then there was a special portrait of Larissa only.
“It turns out you really love my sister ya duke. But, I heard you remarried after my sister died,” Edward said staring cynically at Eldrick.
“Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. Dad loved Mom so much, Dad remarried it because of the emperor's coercion. Even after remarriage Father never touched her, Father had no power to resist the emperor's decree. At that time I was also sickly, so please don't blame my Dad,” for Scarlesia.
Edward was speechless to see Scarlesia defending Eldrick, and he did not want any disagreement between Edward and Eldrick.
“It turns out so, well I won't blame you duke. It seems I understand why Anabela chose you as her husband,”
“Sorry Your Majesty, how does Mom get away from Evariste?” carlen asked.
Edward put his cup of tea before he answered Carlen's question.
“This incident when Anabela was only 17 years old, at that time she accidentally drowned in a lake near the palace and was unconscious for several days. However, when he woke up somehow there was something different about him. As if he was turning into someone else, he refused to do the main task of an emperor, refused to set up a harem, and much more. One day, Anabela suddenly disappears and leaves behind a letter saying that she wants to find a man who truly loves her. Since then he never came back again,” obviously Edward told the story of the brother who disappeared.
“After that the empire was hit with a great panic due to the disappearance of the emperor, we covered it up and gave the position of emperor to me for a while until Anabela was found. It had been searched everywhere but there was no trace of escape from it in the slightest. It's been more than 20 years since that incident, Lucas accidentally saw Scarlesia and came to report to me that he found a girl very similar to Anabela,”.
“But Larissa is already..”.
“We know duke, my sister is dead right? He died from being killed by the previous empress. You do not need to feel guilty because I am relieved that my sister married the right man even gave birth to 3 very smart children,” said Edward.
Scarlesia knows the flashbacks of her mother that have never been revealed, even Eldrick also felt that he still did not know his wife too much. It felt a little strange because the identity of the Mother was not only limited to an ordinary noble but an emperor in the most prosperous and victorious empire.
“Now get to the point, Scarlesia we will take you to Evariste and hand over the crown of the emperor to you. Are you willing to take up the task of being emperor? Because you are the only woman who is a descendant of the emperor. The Evariste Empire must go back to its original history, must go back to the reign of the female emperor,”.
Scarlesia was a little tense, all this time she did want the position as emperor but she did not expect this opportunity to come too soon.
“If I want to protect more people, then I must become emperor. I don't want the previous events to reoccur,” thought Scarlesia.
Eldrick realized his daughter looked tense because of the notification of the Mother's identity impacting him. Eldrick clasped Scarlesia's hand and nodded with a smile on his daughter.
“Alright, I am willing Your Majesty,”
Afterwards, Scarlesia came out of the living room because Eldrick wanted to have a four-eye talk with Edward.
“Hahh tensed once,” muttered Scarlesia heaved a sigh of relief.
Aldert and Carlen approached Scarlesia and patted her on the shoulder, leaving Scarlesia stunned.
“Just brother! Just surprised me,”
“Yeah our most beautiful, cute, and funny sister is soon going to be emperor. Can't you just stay here with us?” aldert.
The two of them hugged Scarlesia, their embrace making Scarlesia claustrophobic.
“Oh brother, why don't you come with me? Our family was treated unkindly by the emperor so why stay here? Make emotions alone,” grumbled Scarlesia annoyed.
Carlen pinched Scarlesia's cheek.
“Smart once you talk, do you think it's easy to move from here to Evariste? Duke Eginhardt's family had served the Roosevelt Empire long ago. It's not that easy to move, you understand?”
“Ahh yes yes do not pinch again my cheeks that there will be more stretched,”
“It's okay dong, later you even more cute,” God Aldert.
“Haaa?? Nah! That's not okay,” Scarlesia banging Aldert.
“Geez, don't beat me again. I'm just kidding,”
“It looks like Sia is very happy to have a family like you,” chirps Lucas talking to Carlen.
“I think so too,”
